Came here on a Saturday night with a group of six. We had to wait 1/2 an hour before we finally got our table. This was my only neg of Casa B, the limited seating. Other than that an exceptional restaurant, that is a welcome addition to the tapas scene. On the decor: so bizarre!! Its got a grandmas rustic but newly renovated kitchen type feel to it. If that makes sense. The waiting area has a rocking chair! The bar has love sofa! Whats not to love here? The food here is pretty unique and varied. There is really something for everyone. We ordered the tablas de dips, which are three dips, artichoke, fava bean, and goat cheese, with plantain chips. The fava bean was my favorite, wish I could order that by itself. We also got the chicken hearts in licor 4, chorizo "spider", columbian cheese fritters, yucca fries, meatballs in guava sauce, and columbian shrimp coctails. The chicken hearts were so strange, because youre eating a chicken heart which should be savory, but its actually extremely sweet due to the licor 43. Definitely get this dish! Lastly, they have a desserts menu as well. Truly magnificent works of food art. I didnt want to actually eat any of it, it was so well prepared. They also comped two of our desserts for the wait. Overall great dining experience, one of my favourite tapas restaurants in the Boston area.

THE BEST LATIN RESTAURANT IN THE BOSTON AREA!!! I been to this place twice, graduation and bday dinner. First time, I tried their chefs tasting menu and it was by far the best $50 I spend at Spanish restaurant. Second time, I and my order a couples of dishes to share and it was again delicious and outstanding. I met Alberto, the chef at this place and fall in love with his idea of cooking Latin flavors. I RECOMMEND THIS PLACE FOR ANYBODY THAT IS INTRIGUE WHAT REAL LATIN FOOD TASTE LIKE without the need to venture out to roughs places like JP or Eastie.

Definitely not as advertised. Cover, which was fine, but then a strange dj and club atmosphere wasnt close to 20s style or swanky. Definitely not 20s style drinks as I asked for an old fashioned (about as simple of a cocktail as it gets) and was told they didnt have the bitters to make it. What kind of bar called prohibition doesnt have bitters?! If you are looking for a club spot it might be your thing but I wont be returning. They might want to consider changing their name or stocking their bar to be, you know, a bar.

The food at Casa B is incredible! I love that the servings are all tapas-sized and that you can share with friends easily since there are so many options. The service is fantastic and the chef-owner is incredibly creative and generous. Its clear the owners are also architects because the venue is so cozy and inviting. There is nothing like Casa B in this area. The variety of Latin food styles, the presentation and the warmth of the owners and staff make this a win-win. Felicidades Casa B!

Every experience Ive had at Casa B is memorable and worth talking about. Romantic meals at the love-seat overlooking the kitchen, sharing multiple rounds of tapas with friends, sitting at the downstairs bar, for a quick late night meal and chatting with the barman, or enjoying the open doors upstairs in the summer. A pitcher of the sangria is worth the hangover in the morning. The service is excellent, the owners dedicated. I continue to look forward to going back every time.

Casa B is my favorite date night spot. The setting is intimate and inviting with a living plant wall downstairs. This family owned spot has a very attentive staff. The head bartender, Taso, is knowledgeable and makes fantastic drinks. Now. The food. THE FOOD. Everything from the buñuelos to the pinchos to the tres leches is fabulous. The plates are small and carefully crafted. Its an expensive meal, but worth the price for the quality of food and service you are getting.

Modern and clean space. Small restaurant with a few tables when you enter the restaurant and a few tables in the lower level. Lower level has a small bar with a few seats and some loungy sofas. Open kitchen in the lower level with seat at a counter facing the kitchen. Food is well prepared, presented and flavorful with a good variety of tapas. Good cocktails and a small but decent wine list.

I have been back to Casa B a few times and always have a good experience. The food is great and the staff is helpful. I like the feel of the upstairs more than I do the larger downstairs dining room. It reminds me of a the small, amazing bistros you find scattered across Europe The price I listed includes 2 drinks per person :).

Went to Casa B for the first time on 12/10/13 during a recent business trip. The food was amazing and the service fantastic. Probably the best tapas I have ever had. I sat at the kitchen bar and had the pleasure of seeing how the dishes were prepared. Will definitely come back next time I return to Boston.

The Tres Leches is AMAZING. Im extremely pleased by the service I got. Jacob was very nice; he had an effervescent, attentive, and entertaining energy that all servers should have. The ambiance was perfection and so was the Latin music that was really fun and it took me back home... To Puerto Rico.

Cosy place. We were sitting downstairs. The food was prepared with imagination. I am not a big fan of small plates but I will certainly return to try other dishes as well. The staff was accommodating, the service was good.

Simply the best, most beautifully presented tapas in the New World. Upstairs dining is visually clean, quiet and modern; downstairs is cozy, earthier and more lively. The owners and staff are fantastic!

Ive lived in the area for over 5 years. I cant believe it took me so long to visit. Every single dish we had was amazing. The portions were just right for sharing with 2 other people.

I didnt love this place as much as others. I thought the food was good (3.5) but the pacing for tapas was AWFUL. Next time Ill go to Sarma.

Really solid tapas that made me feel like I was in Barcelona. Great wine, and half-price if you get there early enough.
